This video highlights the different tools used to create a mezzotint print (a form of Intaglio printmaking). I show how to setup proper lighting and prepare a copper plate. I then go through using a scraper tool, burnisher, engraving sandbag, and finally a print showing the results.

You should be able to find most of these tools in a well stocked local art supply store, but these links might help if they do not have them.
